Answer:

The monthly take-home is 1,100; 10 % of take-home will be savings.

=10/100 x 1100

=0.1 x 1100

=$110

very month savings will be $110

Desired savings are $2100

the time it will take to reach the desired savings

=$2100/$110

=19.09090 months

Time in years    $   19.09090/12

1.59090 years

=1.6 years
